Butlerstown, Vice Chairman, 1904 Timoleague Athletic Sports. 1910 member Courtmacsherry Regatta Committee. March 1916 Courtmacsherry recruitment drive. In the early years of World War 1 there was strong support from all classes regardless of religion or politics in Ireland towards recruitment to assist the British. There was hardly a townland in the country that did not have recruits. Additionally the farmers prospered due to high food prices. However at least in nationalist Ireland from mid 1916 and into 1917 when conscription was suggested the mood changed. Perhaps around 50,000 Irish born men perished for nothing, an epic disaster for young Irish men. Ireland was a colony, in contrast to another small Northern European State, Denmark was independent and neutral. It is thought that about 800 Danes died in the conflict.
